Thomas Jefferson’s fighting
Rebels nailed down the North
Zone championship of the Dallas
High School basketball competi-
tion when they overcame a first
quarter deficit to beat the title-
contender Hillcrest Panthers 60-
49 in a vital contest February 8.
It was real team effort and
cooperation which permitted Steve
Ellis, Dexter Marble and Larry
Elsby to score a combined 39 points
for the Rebs. The trio came

To 3-1 Mark in Second Round
game with 8 points.
The race for the north zone
of the 6AAAA district is shaping
up as a tight one. The Spartan
victory places Samuell, Jefferson,
and Hillcrest all in the contenders’
box.
The Thomas Jefferson Rebels
trampled the North Dallas Bull-
dogs 53-29, January 29.
Dave Somerville was high scorer
for the eagers with 18 points and
Buddy Gross of North Dallas was
top man scoring 6 points.
The Rebels were never in any
serious trouble, as indicated by the
score.

The Samuell High School cage
quintet dealt the defending city
champion Jefferson Rebels a tell-
ing blow January 28, when the
lads from Pleasant Grove downed
the Rebs 67-62 in a vital basket-
ball thriller.
The -loss was the first district
defeat of the season for the de-
fenders and placed them in a first
place deadlock with the Spartans.
The score was tied 10 times
during the nip-and-tuck fray
which saw Rebel Dave Somerville
rack up an astonishing 38 points
for a -new district scoring record.
Jerry Wade also made his contri-
bution to the Rebel cause with 15
tallies. Larry Hays ended the
through when Hillcrest “bottled
up” leading city scorer Dave Som-
erville and stalwart Jerry Wade.
When the leading Jeff scorers re-
alized the situation, they simply
tossed the ball to one of the trio
who was in the open.
Somerville was held to 10 points,
while Wade connected for seven
in the game which started with
an 8-1 Panther margin. But a
combination of Hillcrest errors
and Jefferson sharpshoot-

their shots bounced off of the rim.
Jeff newcomer, Allan Coffey,
broke into the scoring ranks for
the first time as he scored six.
It seems as if there is no stop-
ping the eagers since they remain
first in the 6-AAAA District North
Zone race.
The Thomas Jefferson Rebels
came closer to winning the north
zone basketball title with a de-
cisive 86-67 win over Woodrow
Wilson in Cobb Field House.
Dave Somerville led the Rebels’
attack with 33 points. Jerry Wade
and Dexter Marble followed up
Somerville, each with 10 points.
Charlie White of Woodrow Wil-
son had 25 points to lead his
team in scoring.
Jefferson led throughout the
game and kept 10 to 15 point
margin over the Wildcats in the
last two quarters of play.
The Bryan Adams Cougars
bowed to a fighting Rebel basket-
ball team, falling before the on-
slaught 59-33.
Dave Somerville, the leading
Rebel scorer, paced the offensive
show with 27 points as the Rebels
protected their District 6-AAAA
North Zone lead. But an alert
defense shared equal billing with
the city’s leading scorer as the
Rebels ran their zone record to
8-1. Their season mark registered
27-3 at the close of the game.
Somerville scored his first, bas-
ket with the game just five sec-
onds old. He went on to tally
18 in the first half.
Jerry Wade was brilliant in an
adhesive defense. He shined on
the offensive also with 12 points
to his credit.
Dexter Marble is a 6’2” forward
on the Rebel basketball team.
Dexter, a sophomore, is one of the
starters. He played “B” team
ball last year.
As of yet, Dexter is undecided
on his choice for college.
His hobby is basketball, of
course. His favorite player is Bob
Cousi of the Boston Celtics.
“We’ve got a real good team
that works together well,” was
Dexter’s comment on the team.
s
returning, Coach Kirk hopes to
build a championship team. He
has numerous new prospects com-
ing in.
In the 100 and 220 he has Jim-
my Ellington; in the 440, Mike
Reid; in the 880, Bob McGregor;
in the broad-jump, Allan Coffey
and Frank Teagarden, and in the
pole vault, Bobby Nichols, and
Brice Anderson.
The first meet will be with Rich-
ardson on February 16. About a
week later the Rebels will meet,
in a tri-meet, Highland Park and
Arlington Heights.
The baseball team under Coach
Floyd Mechler has started its
workouts also. With lettermen
returning in just about every po-
sition, the Rebels should be a
strong favorite for the city title.
The tennis and golf teams have
started their matches and work-
outs also. From a sideline spec-
tator’s point of view, it looks
THE REVEILLE
Although Jefferson kasketbal}
fortunes sagged badly after a 67-
62 loss to the Samuell Spartans,
the Rebel cagemen bounced back
to their excellent form in cop-
ping four straight frays, including,
of course, the North Zone Title
clincher, the 60-49 whipping of
contender Hillcrest.
Because of the excellent crowds
which Dallas’ top grade of high
school basketball has drawn,' Mr.
P. C. Cobb, director of high-
school athletics found it necessary
to move some of the games to the
S.M.U. Colosseum. The city finals
however, will be played in the Dal-
las Municipal Auditorium. It is
there that the Rebels will en-
counter the South Oak Cliff Gold-
en Bears to determine which Dal-
las team will enter the state play-
offs.
The track team has begun
working out regularly under
Coach Allen Kirk and Coach Har-
wHy"a3A"VENUS
Steve Ellis, a junior, can be
seen dribbling around the Rebel’s
cage court in Jersey 21.
Steve, 6 ft. tall, plays his posi-
tion of guard well, having had
much experience on the “B" team.
East Texas or Texas A&M is
his choice for college.
Like one of his teammates,
Steve chooses Bob Coursey as his
favorite player.
Steve’s comment on the team
is, “We’ve got a really good team
and_if the fans are behind us we
will go a long way.”
